Personally, I think Stack Overflow's problems are kind of the natural result of the poor documentation and organization of even the most established, broadly used languages and libraries.
It's insane that standard libraries include noob traps with known vulnerabilities, and that are considered bad practice. The first party documentation for a library is typically woefully incomplete at best, and actively misleading at worst, as updates to syntax and parameters don't get added and examples will refuse to compile.
"What does this parameter actually do" is often a question unanswerable by the official documentation.
I can't believe we actually live like this.

Although it is a good reference work, to me it was always horrible to learn anything new from. First time you use std::optional, have a look at this https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/optional https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/optional
